Germany's Francesco Friedrich has extended his streak to 34 consecutive World Cup two-man bobsled races with a medal, guiding his sled to an easy win over countryman Johannes Lochner on Saturday.

Friedrich and brakeman Thorsten Margis finished two runs in 1 minute, 43.48 seconds. Lochner and Christian Rasp were second in 1:43.84, and the Canadian team of Justin Kripps and Cam Stones won bronze in 1:43.96.

Friedrich has won 27 golds and seven silvers during his two-man World Cup medal streak -- not even including the Olympic two-man gold from the 2018 Pyeongchang Games that he shared with Kripps, and three two-man world titles in that span. Codie Bascue and Carlo Valdes were 10th for the U.S., while Hunter Church and Hakeem Abdul-Saboor finished 20th.

The U.S. got two top-six finishes in women's monobob, with Elana Meyers Taylor improving to 2-for-2 on the season with another victory. Germany's Laura Nolte was second, and Breanna Walker of Australia was third. Canada got fourth and fifth with Christine de Bruin and Cynthia Appiah, and reigning world champion Kaillie Humphries was sixth for the U.S.

FIFA says opponents of 2-year World Cup fear losing top spot - TSN.caOpponents of FIFA’s push for World Cups every two years seem scared of being toppled from the top of world soccer, its president Gianni Infantino said on Friday. Nonsense.. I’d rather watch a competition between the best of Europe and South America anyways. Take 10 from Europe 6 from South America and it would out sell a watered down 48 team biannual World Cup. The other federations are still generations behind. How would a 2-year world cup give Africa a better chance? Would Europe and SA's best not compete every time? Even if there was a way to give worse teams a better chance why would you want to? Why would you want to water down the world cup. Just admit it's 100% about money

Italy and Portugal on collision course in World Cup playoffsItaly and Portugal could face off for a spot in the 2022 World Cup after they were drawn on Friday in the same path for the playoffs What a shameful end it'd be if ronaldo doesn't make it to the 2022 world cup even with such a strong Portuguese team. It serves them right. They had 10 games to qualify, but Serbia and Switzerland beat them. They should feel lucky for second chance. Yikes………. Forza azzurri tho 🇮🇹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇮🇹
